Short filmTranscript
00:00I was reborn as a mecha with an empty shell, with my combat instincts, I secretly help my pilot defeat
00:06monsters, rather than a hero, I'm decommissioned for rookie training, because my core was damaged, in my last battle, limiting
00:14me, but this is just the start of my nightmare, my pilot, fey base, often pushes me until my gun
00:20barrel overheats, mechas don't feel pain, but my sync system is old, to connect pilot and mecha, we need to
00:27neural sync, this gives me phantom pain,
00:29even stranger, every time fey sinks with me, I sense her resentment, as I'm figuring this out, I hear the
00:36mechanics talking, SKYX's power core is failing, next training kills it for good, I'm shot, shut down for good, before
00:45I can plan my survival, my radar blares, red dots race toward the base, then, the alarm screams, warning, monsters
00:54incoming, evacuate now, blue fireballs crash into the hangar, heading for the ops room,
00:59I grab a fireball midair, and slam it to the wall, all are shot, how is SKYX moving on his
01:06own, footsteps echo outside the ops room, sir, Leviathan fired unknown energy into the sky, and they're heading towards city,
01:14General Roy Knox quickly orders, everyone, get ready for battle, notify Seahaven, cut non-essential power, and route max power
01:22output to the barrier, suddenly, a terrified soldier runs in, sir, those are all T2s and hybrids,
01:29General Knox's face darkens, he recalls the front line mechas, but Cyclone and Raider are 30 minutes out, meaning the
01:36base must hold the line, missiles bomb the monsters, and their flesh rain down, many monsters still land and hatch,
01:43T2s are 15 feet tall, small compared to 165 foot monsters, and they can be killed with heavy ground forces,
01:50Hybrids form when special T2s fuse together, instantly evolving into 100 foot subgiants, the problem is, they don't begin as
01:58hybrids, minutes tick by, gunfire continues outside, the ops staff relay Roy's orders,
02:04Faye stands at my cockpit, in her white combat suit, cables surround me, they're optimizing me for combat, Faye and
02:11I are, the only pilot in mecha left in the base, a Rory rubs outside the hangar, no T2s could
02:17make them sound, the huge steel door is torn open, it's a hybrid, Faye urgently asks about my status, the
02:24mechanic says, power core at 60%, cannon loaded, joints normal, charging reserve power,
02:31outside, outside, the hybrid desperately tears at the gap, seeing this, Faye immediately starts the neural sink, come on, show
02:39me how you earned your legendary status, at least let me finish charging first, the moment neural sink completes, I
02:46lose all movement control, Faye loves entering overdrive, to boost my performance, just as I break free from the cable,
02:54the hybrid tears the door completely open, it's 65 feet shorter, but we're evenly match in strength,
03:00Faye maxes out the thruster right away, we lift off and clock the hybrid, before it can react, we punch
03:06him again in the jaw, stunned by both blows, it falls backward, twin blades slide from my wrist, I leap
03:13and slash down at its head, a warning sounds, back 32% damaged, I've missed its head, and taken a
03:20hit from its three sharp tails, the tails strike again before Faye can react, suddenly, I enter overdrive without Faye's
03:27command,
03:27she instantly feels me controlling her, I swivel and slash at the incoming tails, a hybrid roars in anger, Faye
03:35makes her move, despite the tail in my back, she ignites the thruster, and brings my blade down on the
03:41hybrid's neck, then, she yanks the tail out of my back, I stand up from the corpse, sparks fly from
03:47the gash in my back,
03:48This girl is crazy, if I hadn't taken control earlier, I'd be scrap metal by now, Faye seeks Roy's praise,
03:56but he anxiously orders her back, suddenly, two more freshly fused hybrids appear, Faye takes a fighting stance instead of
04:03retreating, I'm dumbfounded, for god's sake, my injured back is slowing me, my power core's overheating, and I can't risk
04:10another takeover, otherwise, I'll self destruct, as I waver, my gear starts whirring.
04:20I need to figure out how to evolve now, if Faye charges, we're done, data streams into my mind, so,
04:27every kill earns me points, stronger monsters will earn me more points, points can be exchanged, for mecha upgrades, weapon
04:35mods, and even unmastered tech, the hybrids roar snaps me back, Faye's already charging at them,
04:41I quickly redeem the nuclear core, and holocom system, one boosts my performance, while the other lets me talk to
04:48Faye, both are core components, and cost 16,000 points in total, success!
04:54Items will be delivered in 10 minutes, I freeze, that long? Guess I'm on my own for now, Faye charges,
05:01bringing the blade on the hybrid, but it blocks with one claw, and slashes me with another, I block it,
05:07too, leaving us in a deadlock, but hybrids have three tails, they lunge for my head, and I suffer direct
05:14damage, lucky Faye's in my chest, she fires the cannon at the hybrid's eyes, blazing fire erupts,
05:20The hybrid screams, while Faye yells, die, I force the blades into the hybrid's chest, before it falls, I unleash
05:28my special attack, lightning fast slashes sever its head clean off, it's not over, the other hybrid is already upon
05:37me, having no room to maneuver, I raise both blades, the hybrid charges and headbutts me, Faye feels like she's
05:44been hit by a speeding car, warning, arm 47% damaged, waist 83% damaged,
05:50thrusters offline, even at 8000 tons, I'm sent flying, critical damage, immediately use escape pod, Faye grips the seat and
05:59pulls herself up, she'd sooner die in here than retreat, I'm full of holes now, the hybrid roars at me,
06:05ready to charge again, just what I feared, my best chance is to take it down from mid range, but
06:11I have no such attack, my eyes fall on the dead hybrid, the other hybrid charges,
06:15Faye breathes in, she bets she can dodge, and slice its head off, but she knows her odds are near
06:21zero, the hybrid nears, and a voice Faye dreaded rings out, warning,
06:26Sink rate dropped to 27%, exit immediately, Faye has heard this warning many times, every time, I shut down completely,
06:35no matter how she orders me, I won't move, it's why she never sees action, move, why does it have
06:41to happen now, she pounds the controls, and I actually move, but it's not how she wanted,
06:46A force yanks her back, she's now back in my control, I rush to the hybrid corpse, and slice one
06:52of its tails off, then, I hurl it with all my strength, at the charging hybrid, it cuts through the
06:58air, and pierces through its head, after that, I drag myself toward the hangar, I'm at my limits, without an
07:05upgrade, I'll be scrap metal soon,
07:07Faye stares at the flashing red panel, choked with emotion, just as we reach the hangar, an immense roar erupts
07:14from the sea, unknown monster detected, energy level 4, the system said,
07:19Roy shouts, Faye, evacuate the mecha now, a level 4 monster is forming, no way, Faye says angrily, she'll comply
07:27with anyone else's orders, but Roy's orders always cut deep, do it,
07:31Faye cuts comms with ops, she knows only we can stop this now, she became a pilot to protect the
07:37weak, no matter the cost, a dozen T2's are fusing, but not as before, a normal fusion takes seconds, to
07:44guard itself, it spawns several more hybrids, there are 3 minutes until my delivery, I smile wryly, warning, neural sink
07:52lost, I open the cockpit and pull Faye out, before she knows it, she finds herself in the hangar, what,
07:59in ops room,
08:00everyone stares in disbelief, Roy watches me walk off into the sunset, I walk toward the shore, memories flash before
08:07my eyes, cities crushed, millions dead, mecha's fighting to death, pilots in two, what is a mecha's purpose, SKYX demands,
08:16cooling tanks fall from my body, my glass steams over, warning, power core overloads, hull melting, I feel my armor
08:24twisting from the heat, the core's about to blow, but behind me is a city,
08:29a failing defense, and countless lives, fight to the end, is this me or SKYX thinking, right now, we are
08:36one, I speed up, even as I overheat, I still feel the energy surge through me, a mecha lives for
08:42battle, I charge forward, heat pours through my joints, for a moment, I'm back 10 years ago, show me all
08:49you've got, I rush toward the fusion, 7 hybrids block my path, I draw my blade, and stab one's head,
08:55then punch another in the face, warning,
08:59arm 31% damaged, 6 thick tails lunge straight for my chest, I grab 2, but the other 2, sink
09:06deep into my armor, rather than fall, I rip both tails in 2, with brute force and the heat from
09:12my body, then, I slice off the remaining 4 tails, warning,
09:17chest 67% damaged, I don't care anymore, I'm one with SKYX until the end, as I rip the tails
09:23out, the 2 hybrids go berserk, and charge right at me, I try to dodge, warning,
09:29power core is collapsing, 5 minutes 43 seconds to meltdown, raw power consumes me, but I feel weightless, I meet
09:37the 2 hybrids head on, my heat warped blades, slice their necks, leaving feet long wounds, I roll and land,
09:45what little armor I have left falls away, counting the injured ones, 6 hybrids
09:49now surround me, I bravely charge at the nearest 2, feeling as if I have flesh again, their claws never
09:55reach me, I grab their heads with my burning hands, fingers deep in flesh, I smash their skulls
10:02together, I spin around, and decapitate 1 trying to ambush me, with my warped blade, the blade stays stuck there,
10:09warning,
10:10left blade damaged, the last 3 hybrids charge together, even shielded, my waist takes heavy damage, warning,
10:18waist destroyed, left arm 81% damage, no muscle signal, rebooting, my upper and lower body hang by threads, my
10:26left arm just a metal frame, but a soul burns within this steel,
10:30so long as the core holds, I command this body, I grab the hybrid by its head, and knee it
10:35in the chin, near molten metal crushes its jaw into pulp, warning,
10:40chest destroyed, tails pierce my back, 1 reaches deep into my failing core, and melts in an instant, my right
10:47blade is nearly gone,
10:481 shot remains, not yet, I grab hold of a tail, and pull it through my chest, I can feel
10:54my power fading, the core is about to go dark,
10:57with a roar, I drive the tail spike, into a hybrid's head, ignoring my injuries, I grab the last hybrid,
11:04by the throat,
11:04one hand on its jaw, and the other on its skull, it claws at me wildly, but I don't let
11:10go, die, giving it all, I tear its head in two,
11:14last energy spent, 7 hybrids lie dead before me, only the fusion remains, the system is silent now, and the
11:21core is flickering out,
11:23the new monster is almost hatched, it towers 65 feet above me, if it breaks free, it's over, I want
11:29to stop it, but I'm falling apart,
11:31my core is dead, I press on, fueled by my own decay, on her knees in the hangar, Faye tearfully
11:38watches me head for the fusion,
11:39I must fight to the end, but alas, my blade stops just short of it, the last of my power
11:45gone, I stand frozen,
11:47like a statue, a soldier reports, Sir, an unknown object is approaching the hangar, Roy turns to the monitors,
11:54a huge black cube crashes, to the ground with a boom, any energy signatures, dash no, dash, then focus on
12:01the fusion,
12:02Roy swings half the coastal guns, toward the fusion, dash, but SKYX, dash no butts, he has no choice but
12:07to hit SKYX as well,
12:09cyclone and striker speed toward the fusion, from the distance, 9 missiles fly out, of Silcone's chest, and toward the
12:16fusion,
12:17through the smoke, the fusion roars at the mechas, it's massive sigh shocks everyone, it stops hatching, to survive the
12:24attack,
12:25Roy orders cyclone and striker, to engage at full speed, cyclone charges at the fusion like a comet,
12:31it's pilot, Ben Smith, grins, Rick, leave this to me, cyclone reaches the fusion, and punches its huge head,
12:39it stumbles back, knocking SKYX into the sea, a deep crack splits its face, I'm not done yet,
12:46cyclone's fist transforms, revealing a turbocharger, 5th gear, a gift just for you, Ben strikes, 100 punches in 1,
12:54the charged red fist, slams into the fusion, sending it flying, raider finally arrives beside cyclone,
13:01they stare at where the fusion has fallen, you're late, saying nothing, Rick Dunn grabs the fusion and yanks it
13:07from the sea,
13:08finally, he says, confirmed kill, Roy orders, cease fire, all units to shelters, wait for orders,
13:15cyclone, clear all T2s, raider, recover SKYX and that mysterious object, then, fight on,
13:22cyclone arm then shifts, into a cannon, cyclone fires at the T2s, the blue fire rain finally stops,
13:28no more monsters will come, the battle finally ends 30 minutes later, all but repair crews,
13:34gather in the hangar, SKYX rests beside the cube, as a few researchers, examine it, but most stand before
13:41sticks, Faye, hollow-eyed, leans against the cockpit, Roy turns from SKYX, and heads toward the arguing
13:48crowd, well, any conclusions, the material and tech are beyond me, Roy asks, can the space station trace
13:55where it fell from, they say it came from Eden, Roy falls silent, Eden is an unmanned station,
14:01the halo launched 2 months ago, the watcher and the halo are enemies, so, Roy can't tell,
14:07if this is help or a trap, a researcher says, no way, humans built this, the hangar goes dead quiet,
14:14they don't doubt him, but all they know has only ever come from the sea, their stares at the cube
14:19grow
14:20odd, as if it's something capable of ending the world, Faye breaks the silence, why not fix SKYX instead
14:26of studying this dumb cube, no one knows what she's been through, she'd used him recklessly,
14:31had she known he has a will, no one answers her, he's been lying here since you pulled him out,
14:37Joe Cox, a scientist, says, Faye, the cube takes priority, Faye roars, we all owe our lives to SKYX,
14:44Ben snaps, my brother and I owe him nothing, don't expect sympathy, this isn't a memorial service,
14:51Roy orders, quiet, Faye, go rest, Faye yells, you don't get to say that, you failed SKYX,
14:59if, her voice catches, Roy just stares sternly at her, a middle aged man walks up to SKYX,
15:06Faye, he's beyond repair, it's Levi Cruz, SKYX's mechanic, he's been the one repairing him since
15:12day 1, after 10 years, he knows it's better to use that money, for a new mecca, but Faye stands
15:18firm,
15:19Roy finally asks, any spare parts left for SKYX, one set, but they're old, then, use them,
15:26note any shortages, everyone freezes, for a base on a tight budget, this is wasteful,
15:32but Roy says, we need a hero, they all agree to fix SKYX, still, their focus, returns to the cube,
15:38Faye interrupts Joe, SKYX and this cube are linked, she holds up, a broken support beam from SKYX,
15:45you crazy, Ben's had enough of her, what makes you so sure they're linked, Faye isn't lying,
15:51when Faye picks up that broken beam, she feels a faint pull, coming from the cube, ignoring Ben,
15:58she walks toward the cube, the beam trembles more with each step, she lets go, and it flies straight
16:03into the cube, the cube blows blue and splits open, then dissolves into micro geometric forms,
16:09they surge into SKYX's chest, forming a big black spear, and fusing with his body, in less than 10
16:16seconds, Levi suddenly exclaims, is that the shape, of a power core, Roy turns grim, Levi, pause the
16:23repairs, if that core is latching onto SKYX, it'll be disastrous, Levi panics, what should we do,
16:30for now, lift SKYX up, and try to separate the core, if it works, keep him away, and start the
16:36repairs, don't give the cube any opening, yes, sir, Levi gives a salute, Roy turns to Faye angrily,
16:44you realize what insubordination means, she meet his gaze, I regret nothing, do what you must,
16:50Roy shakes his head, saving lives doesn't justify defiance, you're just stubborn and reckless,
16:55you must know that your duty is to obey, Faye refuses to yield, you were born a soldier,
17:02I wasn't, a flicker of sorrow crosses Roy's eyes, I'm suspending you, one week in solitary,
17:08if your attitude hasn't changed by then, you're out, understood, yes, sir, everyone disperses,
17:15as Roy turns to leave, Faye grabs his sleeve, head hung, she says, I have a request, Roy closes his
17:21eyes, what, promise me you'll fix SKYX, I promise, they don't realize, their repairs will hurt SKYX,
17:28Joe decides to use, Cyclone's sword, to cut through SKYX's chest, at his command, the blazing blade
17:35slowly pierces the sphere, to everyone's shock, there's no sound or spark, Ben cranks up the power,
17:41Cyclone's arms shift, revealing the energy accelerator, hidden in its elbow, the golden blade,
17:47turns deep orange, its temperature now rivals, any mecha core in overdrive, stop, in the ops room,
17:54Joe removes his glasses, even at max safe output, the sword can't scratch that sphere, we're only
18:00wasting time, Liz Cole, blonde and blue eyed, sighs next to him, Cyclone pulls the sword away from the
18:06core, Joe suddenly orders a thermal cut of SKYX's armor, to determine how far the alien matter,
18:13has spread inside his body, Ben stares, at the holographic control panel, which shows scans of
18:19SKYX's remains, SKYX's alloys, are degrading fast, meaning the fusion runs deep, with approval,
18:26Cyclone aims his sword, just above SKYX's core, or in human terms, the heart, the blade sinks in,
18:33Ben smiles, only for it to stiffen, a while later, the blade only pierces 20 inches deep,
18:39he pulls out and tries, the shoulder and waist, it yields the same result, 30 and 33 inches,
18:45Ben laughs bitterly, guess we're too late, if they hadn't touched, that cube, with that beam,
18:51this wouldn't have happened, Joe says, contact General Knox, execute plan B, fire the core,
18:57study it inside SKYX, 10 minutes later, Roy arrives with his team, he explains to Joe,
19:03SKYX is an old mecha, with immature tech, we have to manually spark ignition, dozens of cables latch onto
19:09SKYX, they pull, the ignition lever, the cables flash white, sending pulsing current into SKYX,
19:17gears begin to turn, the black core heats up, SKYX's turbine spins slowly, ignition successful,
19:23power rising, on the up screen, numbers climb fast, just as things seem smooth, the system blares,
19:29unknown program detected, shutdown initiated, Joe shouts, cut the connection, the alarm screams,
19:36nearly shattering eardrums, technicians fight, to cut the power, but to no avail, the breaker blows,
19:43and energy is reversing, the ops room, is about to explode, the crackling surge swallows all cries,
19:49sparks erupt from every panel, the lab flickers into chaos, just as everyone moves to evacuate,
19:55SKYX hums, deep inside the mecha, I finally wait, holy CR asterisk P, that was one hell of a nap,
20:02I try to move, only to find the heaviness gone, in its place is a raw surging power, I've never
20:08felt
20:08before, host in critical state, reconstructing abyss core, holocom loaded, assimilation complete,
20:15I am dumbfounded, I can't believe the parts, I traded for, fell from the sky, and into my body,
20:21it's more like, a bomb drop, than a delivery, suddenly, raw power overwhelms my system, everyone
20:28watches in horror, as the black sphere, splits open like a red eye, with a crack, the cables connected
20:34to me, snap and whip through the air, I slowly raise my broken arm, it begins to rebuild itself,
20:41under a shroud of black light, Levi, he's moving, SKYX is alive, Levi covers his mouth, eyes red,
20:47others react differently, Roy orders full alert, he might be possessed, soldiers aim cannons at me,
20:53Cyclone's engines ignite, Ben snarls, I knew he was trouble, I'm going to tear him apart,
20:59I look at Cyclone, and at the cannons, sighing, can't I catch a break at all, I feel my abyss
21:05core
21:06surging wildly, I smirk, they can't push me around anymore, the air turns heavy, and the alarm wails on,
21:13Cyclone's engine howls, as he charges toward me, Ben snarls through the comm, know your place and just die,
21:20the old me would've kept my distance, from a 3rd gen mecha, but through my new optic sensor,
21:26Cyclone's turbo boosted punch looks slow, I raise my broken left hand, and a boom shakes the hanger,
21:32Cyclone's fist, strong enough to crush a T2 skull, lands firmly in my palm, with us as the center,
21:39the shockwave blasts out, but I remain still, ground intact beneath, no way, Ben roars and tries,
21:46to pull back, I tighten my grip, my fingers bulging, Cyclone's joints groan, sparks flying,
21:52my eyes flickers, is that all you've got, too slow, I say, with my AI synthesized voice,
21:58I hurl Cyclone away, he slams, into the blast wall, dust and debris, explode into the air, Roy loses it,
22:05fire, that thing's possessed, he waves his hand, and dozens of cannons, lock onto my core,
22:12suddenly, a military jeep tears into the kill zone, and screeches to a halt, right in front of me,
22:19Faye jumps out, and spreads her arms wide, to shield me, don't shoot, he's SKYX,
22:25before Roy can react, the whole base shakes violently, warning, defense systems fully offline,
22:32level 5 monster detected, a column of water erupts from the sea, a black monster swiftly breaks through,
22:39the outer defense, doom descends upon the base, the monster's body is covered in scales, both of its
22:46arms transform, into vibrating blades, cannons fall useless, as it glides through untouched,
22:52it moves toward the ops room like an assassin, CR asterisk key, Cyclone won't start, he's too damaged,
23:00Ben pounds the control, trying again, but there's only static, the monster is less than 500 yards out,
23:06Roy turns to Faye, one last chance, if SKYX goes rogue, I'll kill you myself, Faye sprints toward me,
23:14and leaps into the cockpit, but the moment she sits down, she freezes, the old panel is gone,
23:20in its place is a holographic one floating in mid-air, and neural data flowing along the walls,
23:25it looks like an alien ship, welcome back, I say warmly, buckle up, kid, for once,
23:31the neural sink doesn't bring pain, I sense her racing heart, ANS she feels my fury, we become one
23:39in that moment, sink rate 100%, 200%, the number skyrockets, then stops at 400%, abyss mode activated,
23:47I move, and the ground cracks, darkness engulfs my broken blade, reshaping its metal, a black side
23:53emerges, red veins pulsing along its edge, the monster senses lethal danger, it stops and turns to flee,
24:00a shadow blurs by, no one sees it happens, the monster is still mid-stride in the air,
24:06as its head slowly rolls off, it's at instant kill, I lower the side, and turn toward the ops room,
24:13under their terrified stairs, I kneel on one knee, disarm my weapon, and bow in submission,
24:19after the battle, I'm still not free, the higher ups still fear what I am, I'm held in a repair
24:25bay,
24:26they won't dismantle me, but the perimeter is surrounded, by electric fences, board,
24:32I turn inward to study, my system, after days of diagnostics, I finally learn the black cube,
24:38is Eden's core creation, it provides unlimited power, vast database, and micro-armory,
24:49A system prompt sounds, I read it and freeze, I can now control soulless mechas, through core frequency,
24:56making them my puppets, no more solo fight, SKYX, how are you today, Faye walks in with maintenance tools,
25:03only she is allowed near me, I don't require upkeep, but she still visits daily, bored, but fine,
25:10I reply casually, the wifi here is too slow, I can't even stream, Faye chokes on her water,
25:17spraying it everywhere, you sound like a human, she says, staring at me wide-eyed, I am one,
25:23just better built, my eyes flash, and I shrug, from that day on, Faye no longer sees me,
25:29as just a machine, but her comrade, we spend a cozy time, together, but it doesn't last long,
25:35a week later, an alarm sounds, several silver airships lands on the base, the halo has come,
25:42they're elites who live, in the space city, Max Hill walks up to Roy, ignoring everyone else,
25:47he's dressed in a white suit, his hair is perfectly styled, and his face is arrogant,
25:52General Knox, article 73 states, the sample is ours, hand it over, or else, SKYX is a hero who saved
25:59us,
25:59not some sample, Roy says, he's nothing but a rogue, Max scoffs, and claps his hands,
26:05the airship, behind him opens, a sacred, yet oppressive air, fills the area, a legless,
26:11white mecha, hovers out slowly, six pairs of wings fan behind her, its face a smooth mask,
26:17it's the halo's new mecha, Seraphim, cooperate, or we'll consider you a threat, Max warns,
26:23while adjusting his glasses, we'll cut off all your power, and blast this place apart,
26:28I watch it all, through the monitor in the bay, a red mission window pops up,
26:34mission, resist recovery, teach the halo a lesson, reward, electromagnetic camouflage,
26:39EMC, they want to take me? As if I'll agree to it, the talk falls through,
26:44Max runs out of patience, or maybe this is all part of his plan, with a wave of his hand,
26:49Seraphim's wings flare, several beings slice through our defense easily, stop, Ben roars,
26:55this is our territory, Ben charges in the repaired Cyclone, he may hate me, but he'll still fight,
27:01a common foe, yet, before the ultra high-tech Seraphim, Cyclone seems weak, Seraphim spreads
27:07her wings, deflecting the missiles, Cyclone launches with a blue shield, she raises her right hand,
27:13a beam pierces Cyclone's shoulder, nailing him down, too weak, your outdated tech is laughable,
27:19Max mocks, shaking his head, a roaring black bolt, rips through the hangar door,
27:25I step through the dust, scythe in hand, it's brutality vs grace, old vs new, Seraphim keeps
27:31her distance, attacking me from afar, I activate my abyss core, the beams striking me, are absorbed
27:38on contact, fueling my rampage, Max says, what? It's absorbing the beam? Impossible! Max drops,
27:46his wine glass in shock, I charge through the barrage, one hand grabs, Seraphim's waist,
27:52while the other brings the scythe down, metal screams as I rip, her energy shield, and tear
27:57off two of her wings, pinned under my foot, she loses her lofty elegance, we win and crush,
28:03the halos pride at the cost of crossing them, Max's parting threat is no joke, General Knox,
28:10let's go, they could strike here any minute, Faye says urgently, Roy surveys the base he defended for
28:15decades, now in ruins, he takes a breath and orders, evacuate to facility 13, take all supplies in
28:22Mecca, escape won't be easy, the halos drones shadow us, standing by the fire, we won't last at this
28:29rate, I cash in on the EMC after taking a glance, at the panel, a pulse ripples outward, engulfing the
28:36onboard, we simply vanish on the halos radar and thermal scans, when night falls, we stop at a
28:42valley, I sit on the cliff edge, looking up at the glow of the halo space city, Faye climbs up
28:47and
28:48settles on my shoulder, swinging her legs, who are you, you fight and talk exactly like him,
28:55she asks, hungry for confirmation, remember the pilot, who never returned after taking the nuke,
29:01into the wormhole 10 years ago, in the first monster war, Faye trembles, crying, her voice shakes,
29:06you were, my brothers' best comrade, Leo Ward, yes, I murmur, my eyes softening, Faye holds my
29:14metal head, and weeps, the monsters sense our rift, and evolve accordingly, just as we reach,
29:19the underground base, intel arrives, a new level 4 monster, the Volt, has appeared, it can let out
29:26strong electromagnetic pulses, the mechas after us had their circuits fried, when they met the Volt,
29:32they stop and are torn up, sh asterisk t, all electronics are dead, radar, fire control,
29:38and even the lights, staring at the dark screens, Roy pounds the desk, I stand up, glowing faintly,
29:45my abyss core is half organic, so it's immune to EMP, I walk toward the warehouse, where dozens of
29:51first gen mechas are stored, I can't connect to them, but my combat sense remains, I connect to these
29:58dormant mechas, using a frequency similar to brainwaves, an odd sight appears on the field,
30:04one dark glowing futuristic mecha, followed by first gen mechas, moving stiffly and spewing smoke,
30:10they use all kinds of weapons, to fight the monster, oil mixes with blue blood, meanwhile,
30:16using the dead seraphim as a bridge, I hack into the halo's highest database, as the firewalls fall,
30:22I learn of a sickening and horrifying truth, the monsters aren't aliens, but Eden's failed
30:28experiments, the halo, sick of earth's rot and used up land, tried to create bioweapons, fit for harsh
30:35lands, their goal is to kill off, the low tier population and ecosystem, to make room for their
30:40own return, to build a new world, my abyss core is, the halo's only successful mutation core,
30:47I'm both their key, and worst mistake, they're not saviors, but devils, I project the image,
30:53of monster cultivation, and human experiments onto the ops room's main screen, Roy turns pale,
30:59trembling, he draws his gun, and slams his fist onto the table, shattering it, the asterisk starts,
31:06we bleed to save humanity, yet they stop us like bugs, he won't let the truth be buried,
31:11vengeance burns in his eyes, we must tell the world about this, and expose the halo,
31:16but the halo finds me out, they drop all pretense, and send their mechas to trap us inside the base,
31:23missiles and beams smash the weak bunker, to buy time for the data send, I charge out front,
31:29a shell blows near me, my left leg's hydraulic rod snaps, Levi says, hold still, I can fix it,
31:35Levi runs through gunfire, toolbox in hand, go back, it's rue risky, I yell, shielding him,
31:42but he keeps working, the moment he's done, a grenade, rips through his chest, he falls, still gripping
31:48his old wrench, his eyes fade, fixed on my leg, SKYX, legs fixed, I stare at his still body, something
31:55snaps in me, warning, emotion max, rage mode on, die, I roar, blast shatters, red crystal spikes burst
32:02from my body, I drop my blade in charge, oil and parts fly, as I rip the enemy mechas apart,
32:09finally,
32:10there's an opening, I guard the truck carrying the truth, but more mechas keep coming, go,
32:16ill hold them, Ben says over the calm, the broken, one armed cyclone, blocks the canyon, Ben,
32:22are you crazy, that's a dead end, Faye yells, I've long hated the halo, so now's my chance to beat
32:29them, SKYX, I was wrong before, goodbye, everyone, Ben laughs, then sets off cyclone's unstable core,
32:36a mushroom cloud rises, at the canyon's mouth, the falling rock seals the enemy's path, and buries
32:42a hero, that same day, the truth reaches the world, the halo's crime sparks fury, armies in people,
32:49rise up like never before, the halo's rule crumbles, but before we can celebrate, the deep sea station
32:56reports, mother monster Leviathan has awakened, with a low hum, Leviathan rises from the ocean,
33:02at 1000 feet long, Leviathan triggers a tidal wave, just by surfacing, cities fall in an instant,
33:08desperate to save itself, the halo deploys Olympus, a massive floating fortress, packed with fake guns,
33:15yet, before Leviathan, it looks so small, it unleashes a blue beam, toward Olympus, shattering
33:21its shield, the hull breaks and falls, into the sea as fireballs, despair grips, all of humanity,
33:28all attacks are useless on Leviathan, after the halo falls, the last of humanity sets aside,
33:34all grudges, and forms the earth united defense, I am now, humanity's final hope, system, exchange all
33:42points, including the backup life support energy, I say calmly, on the mod bay, please confirm,
33:48this will use all reserves, if it fails, you will die, confirm, I've waited long for this, nanobots
33:55flood my frame, the mod bay's arms spin, I grow to 250 feet, dark gold runes cover me, and 6
34:02huge energy
34:02wings, burst from my back, in my hand, I grip an axe, I, war god, have descended, on doomsday,
34:08thousands of mecha gather on the coast, across from us is, a monster swarm and Leviathan,
34:14Faye sits in my cockpit, since I've gained consciousness, I don't really need a pilot,
34:19but I know she needs to be here, and I need her by my side, she's my anchor, proof of
34:24my humanity,
34:25I charge into the sea first, fighting all the way down, the sea turns red, mecha wrecks and monster
34:32corpses litter the deep, sea pressure, warps the mechas with me, only I move freely, thanks to my
34:38strange body, not only strong, Leviathan can attack the mind as well, eyes gleaming, it send, waves of
34:44mind blasts to Faye, she screams in pain, clutching her bleeding head, blood gushes out of her eyes,
34:50detected a sharp decline in the driver's vital signs, my heart twists, system, cut our neural sink,
34:57and send all the mind blasts to me, do it, Faye passes out, on the pilot seat, I feel like
35:08my soul,
35:08is being stabbed, my sight blurs, dated glitches, but I grit my teeth and take the hit, I frenziedly
35:14grapple with Leviathan, and slice off his tentacles, its blood turns the sea black, as it's roaring in pain,
35:20I dive, into his colossal mouth, inside his body, I see his core, it looks like a beating heart, and
35:27is connected to a purple vortex, a portal to another dimension, if I don't destroy it, monsters will
35:33come endlessly, to kill us, host soul is being taken over by energy, from another world, leave now, or host
35:40will vanish forever, the system warns, I look at the core, then at Faye, I make up my mind, what
35:46happened,
35:47where are we, Faye wakes up under my protocol, looking around her, we're in its belly, there's the core,
35:53I'm going to set the bomb, get ready, I lie nonchalantly, okay, I'll go with you, she tries to
36:00stand, not this time, I say gently, you should rest, what do you mean, Faye suddenly has, a bad feeling,
36:07Eject sequence initiated, locking onto surface, no, SKYX, what are you doing, Faye screams,
36:14pounding the hatch, I burn her tear-streaked face into my memory, live, see the new world for me,
36:20the cockpit shoots toward the surface, with Faye in it, I watch her go, then, I turn and hug,
36:26the pulsing core tightly, abyss core, limiters off, max overdrive, let's die together, a blinding light
36:34erupts, from the ocean depths, the water vanishes, and the seabed melts, the blast reshapes the earth
36:40itself, the shockwave kills leviathan, and rips apart the portal, the monsters and the halo are gone,
36:46the survivors emerge, and weep for joy at the long lost sun, true peace, at last, three years later,
36:52in the city's new town square, stands a 300 foot statue of SKYX, it's paid for by the people to
36:58honor him, Faye has retired from piloting, and now teaches rookies how to bond with their mechas,
37:04Faye stays single, despite many suitors, every year on this day, she'll toss a bouquet of daisy,
37:09into the sea, SKYX, everyone says you're dead, but I still feel you with me, she says, staring at the
37:16sea,
37:16her old wrist calm, silent for three years, suddenly blinks red, a familiar voice,
37:21crackles through it, kid, the water's freezing, Faye drops her sunglasses, in shock as tears stream
37:28down, my consciousness didn't fully vanish, in the blast, it rode the global data stream,
37:34and uploaded itself to the cloud, now, I am everywhere, always watching over Faye,
37:40the base's main screen, suddenly cuts to a silly face, I drew just for her, Faye sees it and laughs,
37:46she wipes her eyes, and looks up at the sky, welcome home, SKYX.
